Does Your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1989 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When does Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks? Worn E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
